==== Christianization ====

Christianity in the form of [[Levantine Catholicism]] was introduced to Faneria beginning in the Fourth Century AD, with a number of travelling preachers moving into the Vandarch and finding refuge with the few surviving latin coastal colony towns initially. Missionaries found integrating Christ as a deity within the polytheistic faiths of the northern Basin easy, but the transition to full Christianization was agonizingly slow by the standards of the era and did not reach a majority of the population until the Twelfth Century. The gradual replacement of existing traditions and the syncretic sects that formed as a result eventually grew to be a severe issue in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Eventually, the locals translated the Bible directly into two local dialects - a transgression so severe that it incited several Christian states around the Vandarch to go on crusade against the developing Northern Rite, pushing outright pagan worship out of the lowlands in the 10th Century. This shattered the tolerance between pagans, Northern Rite syncretic, and hardline Catholics, and removed Pagans from the heights of political power in northern Levantia permanently.
